Cool Q's Engineering Farewell

With the big farewell dinner coming up soon it will be interesting to see which upstarts make it to the head tables and who's on the outer.
I suppose there will be more room now at the Chow Mein nights. Whilst some people are going to say goodbye, some are going to make sure they don't come back.
I for one is sad to see some go and glad other's are gone.
A lot of experiance is gone, can engineering recover from the loss, only time will tell.

And with the Fat Controller in charge of Proceedings for the night there will be many upstarts on the outer doing their level best to impress.

Others will probably try to impress the inner sanctum members of the Chow Mein Club by gobbling down any fish eyes that might swim by.

At least if the Fat Controller brings his wife along for comic relief during his speech, like he did at the last sendoff, she will get a good education from these up and cummers as to how he really likes it.

As for me, the $65 isn't bad value considering I'll get a feed, an insight as to who will be the future supervisors depending on how much butt is kissed and I'll end up getting smashed by the end of the night.

Apparently the guys on the floor are asked regularly about buying tickets to the farewell with a fairly lacklustre response overall.

I had 20 yrs service in Base Maint and didn't qualify for the farewell dinner along with others with up to 30 yrs service. It is obviously a chow mein club dinner so why would non-chow mein club LAMES want to go. I hope they have a great night night and maybe they should book a smaller venue in future.

I agree numbskull not many I know from the floor. Lots of good floor mechanics left and they not on the list must be a chow mein function.

I can think of better ways to spend an evening Bung, and quite franlky I can do without all that b/s and grovelling. This could be why most guys are just not interested any more. Even with the 380 course lucky door prize....... but we all know who has already played their collective hands with regard to that one.

With the low numbers maybe the Shire pickup bus might have to be downgraded to a mini-van.

The Fat Controller and his inner circle are off on a "tem building" trip. Don't know if they plan on going commando, but observing all relevant OH&S procedures will assure a safe and speedy return for the farewell dinner.

Devil no fish eye soup for you

listen whinges dont you know the first rule of fight club.nobody speaks of fight club! same goes for the chow mein does it it exist i ask ?
so if you where a member of a so called secret sect would you talk about it ,oh thats right its secret.do the masons openly admit it ?and to rant some more to the lot of replys regarding the retirement dinner dont you dare devalue a group of great individuals that were timing radials when half of us were in nappys or were a twinkle in your old mans eye.so that said ,love loathe, or hate who went with the last vr show them the respect and support of the true engineering pride and have a beer with em to say good job and see you on the other side of the fence
